Two
Tanzanians living in South Africa have been killed in ongoing xenophobic
violence that has rocked the country to its core.
A
representative of Tanzanians living in the country, Bonka Kuseleka, confirmed
the two died in the anti-foreigners attacks that have left another five people
from other countries dead and thousands displaced in the city of Durban.

The deceased
have been named as Rashid Jumanne, a cigarette seller who died on Tuesday in Stenga,
a suburb in Durban and Athumani Mapepe, who died on Wednesday in Durban as well.
Kuseleka says
Rashid was shot dead by unknown gunmen while he was working.
Athumani was
a detainee at a correctional facility and was stabbed to death by fellow
inmates when they confronted him over his nationality.
